“Am I supposed to know him?” I responded with a quizzical facial expression.
“What? Don’t you really know him?” he asked again.
“Does he know who Perpetua the seeker is?” I questioned the vendor. The vendor laughed at my retort. Guess who that man was. No other than….

What?? No Way ! You met Tom Selleck? He is such a hottie ! Can I touch you? You’re now famous too. 🙂
Now about that hot dog fetish…oh boy. Although my addiction is pizza. Maybe we can begin a support group.
Tee hee… I didn’t really know the fella until the vendor told me who he was expecting that I should know him. 😛 Salt Anonymous for a support group. And I’ll take the first step.
How fun. Loved the way you told it. 🙂
It was rather funny becaue of the vendor. 😛

It appears you and Tom had a nice conversation. I wrote a little about Tom Selleck in my Feb.1st post. He was my man in the early eighties! 🙂 I bet people who act for a living probably enjoy having conversation with others who treat them as someone who is a regular person because they aren’t any different than anyone else. He is on a current TV show on Saturday evenings, I’ve only seen this show a couple of times. I enjoyed your story.
You did? Got to check your site about him. It’s beyond me how people go to extreme when they meet “stars”. But I must say, I did go gaga about a certain rags to riches star when I was younger just because she was such a good singer. And then she reverted back to “being poor” again.
When I lived in Seattle, I knew a few people who liked to go to Vancouver just for all the amazing “street food.” Maybe they were really looking for the celebrities too! 😉
Just maybe. You’ll never know who you will meet on the street.
When was this? P, you make me smile so often … I love this guy! But I believe you single-handedly gave Canadians a heck of a great reputation! Good on you! 🙂
This happened around late 90’s. I was really totally clueless about him just like “Bonanza”. Hmmm… maybe I’ll write about him, eh?
He was at his best as Magnum, in my opinion! And he always gave me the impression, in interviews, that he was kind, gentle and down to earth. I’ve only met a few “celebrities” in my life, but the one I’ll treasure most is meeting the real Maria Von Trap (played by Julie Andrews in Sound of Music) – classy woman and an experience I’ll treasure forever! 🙂
Wow, how did you meet her? Please do tell or write a post about her and then include your experience. 😛
It was several years ago. I went with a group I was a part of, to Vermont. I was the only one who knew who she was. The good part about that is that I could meet and talk (and even get my picture taken with her). It was great! 🙂
Definite this a post, including the picture! The hills are alive with the sound of TK…. la la la….
♫ ♫ What can we do about a problem like Perpetua?♬ ♬ heehee 🙂 [er, just so don’t get the wrong idea, that’s a paraphrase of a song in the movie …]
Hey, how did you do that musical staff. I know, my first name is Maria and I heard that song so many times. 😆
I found this site, and all you have to do is copy and paste: http://thenextweb.com/TwitterKeys/keys.php?noui=1&jump=doclose# … I could watch that movie over and over! 🙂
You are awesome. Thank you. That movie is all time favourite.
How can it not be, eh?
😛
It must be Tom Selleck day! I just read another blogger who posted about him.
Oh, I must look for Tom Sellectk tonight when I get home.
First Whoopi, now Tom Selleck – I assume you don’t watch TV or is it just old shows that you haven’t seen? 😛
I prefer live shows such as plays, concert and opera. TV is used for background sound. There are a lot of Hollywood stars floating around in Vancouver and Vancourites let them be. 😛 They are just another person, no big deal.
Interesting ‘strangers’ you run into. :0
Yup, I have no fear of talking to strangers. 😛
🙂
SO you chatted with Magnum PI and did not know it?
P!! You goose!!
Then again, he’s a guy I could see myself talking to 🙂
The thing is even he’s the prince or king, I wouldn’t know the difference. I don’t know Hollywood stars but Yul Brener, Telly Savalas and Charles Bronson. Magnum PI? Never watched it. He was so easy to talk to, g. Very friendly. 😛
I think that’s the only way to treat them actually – most of them have ego’s bigger than the moon – a bit of normalcy will only do them good 😉
And I LOVED Magnum PI when I was a kid 🙂
Is this a real story or fiction? Whichever it us, I like to read your story . Thanks.
The line up as long as a football field is fiction, the rest is true. It’s easier to write true stories than to make up a story. Glad you like it, tm.
